A question from a newbie to the well-fediversed: Occasionally I see a post in my feed clearly not subject to the 500 character limit I have on my various Mastodon clients.

How can I, on some rare occasions, create a post (or reply) longer than 500 characters?

@james Oh, is this how one is supposed to welcome people on Mastodon?
I’ve been doing it all wrong…
